I've seen them too... on the one hand maybe they don't look as "healthy" as a Calvin Klein model. On the other hand, especially when watching the older ones -- they sure have kept their mobility and muscles in a working condition throughout the years doing what they do and they make me think of the majority of old folks back home whose bodies are often deteriorating and falling apart from NOT getting any physical exercise, from spending hours in front of the telly for years and from feeding themselves pure toxic junk food for decades. Well... it's a big world out there.
- latch 16y agoI've had the same thoughts. It's impressive to spend time in Asia and see how active the elderly are. However, I'm not sure this type of "be active or don't eat" activity is socially progressive (which is the part that shames me). I also disagree that they are "mobile" and "muscled". Most have obvious joint/bone problems. I'm really not sure that this type/level of physical labor is any better than the exact opposite of no physical labor. What is inspiring though is that these people will do it because they have to. No shame, no pride.
- Tichy 16y ago"especially when watching the older ones" A relevant question would be how old they really are, though. Maybe they only look old.
